Did the Coronavirus Escape from a Chinese Lab? Here’s What the Pentagon Says

Gen. Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, directly addressed ‘rumor and speculation’ that COVID-19 is a made-in-China weapon of war.

Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Mark Milley on Tuesday said that the U.S. intelligence community has looked “hard” into rumors that the coronavirus had its origins in a Chinese biolab, not an open-air market as is widely believed.

“There’s a lot of rumor and speculation in a wide variety of media, blog sites, etc.,” Milley said. “It should be no surprise to you that we have taken a keen interest in that, and we have had a lot of intelligence take a hard look at that.”

“At this point it’s inconclusive, although the weight of evidence seems to indicate natural, but we do not know for sure,” Milley said.

Most scientists have publicly dismissed the theory that COVID-19 began as an escaped bioweapon, and there is no public evidence to support it. The fringe theory emerged in the early days of the disease’s spread and is based on the fact that Wuhan, where the outbreak began, has at least two infectious-disease research labs. It has gained some traction on the right, bolstered by Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., who has publicly suggested that the United States should consider the possibility that the disease may have originated in a lab, not a live-animal market.

“We don’t know where it originated, and we have to get to the bottom of that,” Cotton said on Fox News in February. “We also know that just a few miles away from that food market is China’s only biosafety level 4 super laboratory that researches human infectious diseases.”

But it is possible that the virus could have begun as research that accidentally escaped the lab — although scientists disagree on the likelihood of this.

Milley’s answer on Tuesday was less definitive than his chief medical officer, Joint Staff Surgeon Brig. Gen. Paul Freidrichs, who has previously said of the theory: “No.”

These are the individuals who act as spokespersons for the philosophy of the Church of Satan, which include the titles of “Priest”/“Priestess,” “Magister”/“Magistra,” “Magus”/“Maga.” Members of the Priesthood make up the Council of Nine, which is the ruling body of the organization, appointed by and responsible to the High Priest/Priestess. The Order of the Trapezoid consists of the individuals who assist in the administration of the Church of Satan. Members of our Priesthood are people of accomplishment in the real world—they have mastered skills and have won peer recognition, which is how they have attained their position—“as above, so below.” They are “movers and shakers” who are the core of our movement. While expected to be experts in communicating our philosophy, they are not required to speak on our behalf and they may even choose to keep their affiliation and rank secret, in order to better serve their personal goals, as well as those of our organization. Thus, you may (even as a member), encounter members of our Priesthood and never know it.

Pompeo on Possibility of Wuhan Lab Leak: ‘Still Lots to Find Out’

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo did not rule out the possibility of a coronavirus leak from a virology lab in Wuhan, China, in a radio interview on Tuesday.

Pompeo was asked by Tony Katz of The Morning News:

Does the State Department believe that China absolutely purposefully engaged a virus, or is there a belief that there was a leak from a virology lab in Wuhan, and China did not let the world know about it until it was too late?

Pompeo responded:

Look, there’s still lots of work to be done to find out precisely what happened here, precisely how this came to be. We know this much: We know this is a global pandemic that originated in Wuhan, China. We know that there were wet markets there. So we’re beginning to piece the facts together.

U.S. Embassy officials in China visited the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) in 2018 and sent back official warnings to the State Department about the inadequate safety at the lab, where researchers were conducting risky studies on bat coronaviruses, the Washington Post reported Tuesday.

Pompeo also said China’s tardiness in providing important information slowed the global response. He added:

We also know that China was too late, too slow, in providing important information about human-to-human spread of the virus.

One of the most important facts is how quickly this has spread, how easily and readily this has spread, and unfortunately, that information didn’t get to the relevant people that could have made decisions earlier, and that caused the entire world to be on its back foot at a time when it needed to be leaning forward and moving out aggressively.

Chinese authorities first alerted the World Health Organization of the coronavirus on December 31, but they denied evidence of human-to-human transmission as late as January 14.

The World Health Organization acknowledged evidence of human-to-human transmission on January 20, after the first individual confirmed to have coronavirus arrived in the United States from Wuhan, China, on January 15.

Pompeo also slammed Chinese disinformation campaigns, such as that U.S. Army soldiers brought coronavirus to Wuhan.

“Those kinds of disinformation campaigns are not only wrong and unfounded, but they create risk; they cost lives,” he said.

Pompeo vowed that entities will be held responsible in the coming months:

There’ll become a time to review precisely what happened, to investigate, get all the facts, and hold accountable those who were responsible for this enormous, not only loss in human life but the economic damage that’s been done here in the United States as well.

He said based on data over the past weeks, the Chinese government has “simply not lived up to their obligations to the international organizations.”

However, he said the focus right now is to fight the virus, even if that means cooperating with China.

“Look, we’re trying to find places – as the President said last week, we’re trying to find places where we can cooperate with China as we move through this time,” he said.

“Our fundamental obligation in the days and weeks ahead is to do everything we can to fight back against this virus here in the United States and get our economy going back again.”

Inmate Released Over COVID-19 Fears Arrested For Murder Hours After He Got Out of Jail

TAMPA, Florida — An inmate who was released from jail due to fears of coeronavirus spread has been re-arrested on a murder charge.

Deputies say 26-year-old Joseph Edwards Williams commited second-degree murder the day after he was released.

The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office says Williams fatally shot a man near 81st Street South and Ash Avenue just hours into his freedom. He was previously arrested for possession of heroin and possession of drug paraphernalia.

More than 150 inmates have been released in Hillsborough County.

“There is no question Joseph Williams took advantage of this health emergency to commit crimes while he was out of jail awaiting resolution of a low-level, non-violent offense,” Sheriff Chad Chronister said. “As a result, I call on the State Attorney to prosecute this defendant to the fullest extent of the law.”

“Judges, prosecutors, and Sheriffs around the country are facing difficult decisions during this health crisis with respect to balancing public health and public safety. Sheriffs in Florida and throughout our country have released non-violent, low-level offenders to protect our deputies and the jail population from an outbreak. Our commitment as an agency is to keep this community safe and enforce the law.”

“Every murder, every violent crime, especially those involving a gun, is a sickening example of the worst in our community, especially at a time when our community is working relentlessly to fight against the spread of this deadly COVID-19.”

William’s bond was set at $250,000, according to WFLA.
